Hi all, please how long does it take for an update that is supposed to up your points to be effected. I just updated my profile but am still seeing the same score...

Please if my profile was created in December, 2016, do I need to re-create a new profile?

boldinc:
Ontario application is open now... For those that have 400 and above, please re-create a new profile and add Ontario as a province you are interested in... You should get an NOI asap.

The application is online now, so there might be hope of a faster processing time.

Also note that you have to pay an application fee of 1,500 CAD USD.

All the best guys and Good Luck!

Ontario’s Human Capital Priorities and Graduate Streams to Reopen Late February 2017. You all should stay alert as they will send NOI to EE applicants with 400 and above

Diamond bank debit card rate for dollar is N367 today...trust me that is the cheapest I have seen in recent times...Enjoy those in America or those that purchase online. Have a fantastic weekend!

No, probably means "what goes around, comes around". We should condemn abuse in all forms in respective of who is the offender.

LadyGuinivere:
And by this comment are you implying it is now ok for men to physically abuse their wives afterall the wives abuse the maids?

Thanks

Folamingo congratulations

To God be the glory and in the spirit of giving back, the journey started off with our airport taking light for more than 5 hours which did not allow me purchase dollar at Travelex and they had but could not process without light. (their rate was N356 and you need your boarding pass, BVN and Ticket). Also it is wise to checkin online as that saved us a lot of hassles, the airline gave us priority as there was no light to attend to people checking in at the airport. I also requested for special assistance (wheelchair/Mobilecar) whilst dropping off our luggage which was a wonderful decision. DW was 36 weeks and no fit to fly was requested all through the journey...I think it depends on your carriage.

DW and I arrived Houston Airport yesterday via Amsterdam with KLM. The flight was very nice but their food get K leg..lol. The cabin crew were very nice, as they were always there when needed. They even gave us KLM souvenir gifts for the baby. So both at the Amsterdam and when we got to Houston, the wheelchair service were ready as she got off the plane.

So we had priority access straight to the CBP officer and the transcript went thus:

Me: Good afternoon sir
CBP: Good aftternoon
CBP: What is your purpose to the United state?
Me: To have our baby and vacation
CBP: Is this your first time to Houston
Me: Yes, in fact our first time to the US
CBP: In that case let me be the first to say welcome
Me: Smiles...Thank you sir
CBP: Where will you be staying?
Me: Sun Suites of Sugarland, Stafford (I had a booking)
CBP: Is that like a hotel or something
Me: Yes, Its a long stay apartment
CBP: How much have you got?
Me: $10+ (said the amount to the last 1 dollar)
CBP: Smiles...you seem to know the answers to every question I ask..like you already know what I am about to say next.
Me: Smiles back, i came prepared and declared everything.
CBP: When is she due?
Me: Told him
CBP: Place you four fingers on the scanner
Me: Did that and looked into the camera
CBP: Looks to wife on the wheelchair, Ma'am place your fingers on the scanner and look into the camera
DW: she does that.
CBP: stamps my passport, but didn't notice him stamping in DW, says since I am carrying above $10, we should proceed to declaration and agric.
Me: still surprised as i didnt touch my big burden of proof.

So I approached another CBP officer to ask why my DW passport wasn't stamped, he said we shouldn't worry that it is on the system and we are good for 6 months. We proceeded to get our bags and the Wheelchair service lady took us to the place, where i filled a declaration form and the CBP officer there collects the form and asks the same question, which I answered and he asked where I work and also my DW, I answered for both of us. Then he says you can GO. I was wondering go where...the wheel service lady said wheel the bags you are good to go. Next thing I see is EXIT.

Nothing was checked and no document was asked for. I didn't even open any of the four (4) bags filled with food: Pap, dried pepper, Yam, Indomie onion, Dried cat fish, Egusi, Beans, Garri, etc...(i declared I was carrying food on the plane).

The story looks long but all this was like in 15 mins and we were done. GLORY BE TO GOD FOR A SMOOTH JOURNEY. Chilling now at Soulcare Concierge apartment and awaiting my DW's appointment with Dr. Z.

Because it is more like a gamble...You dont want to be stranded carrying all that naira and someone telling you it is not available. Remember it is borderline, you would have collected your boarding pass and ready to depart. VERY RISKY for those that do not have dollars at all.

Abuleoshi:
On this PTA matter, why do people not buy dollars at fantastic rates From Travelex at International Airport? Yesterday they sold at N363 to a dollar.

@mumzt . Please I sent you a PM, but no response. Please kindly send info of accommodation to folami2@yahoo.com, will be there Sept - Nov. God bless you

[quote author=mumzt post=48042279]Rented 2 rooms in a 3 bed house. Had d whole house to ourselves as dy had no oda tenants throughout our stay. Paid 850 per rm per month. (So I'm suprised everyone is paying ova a thousand) stayed in richmond.  Abt 15mins drive from d hospital.[b][/b]

Madam...I picked this information from the actual form I filled. Yes everyone will get B1/B2 on their visa. But during the application process, she is meant to fill it the way I type it. I don't know how long ago you filled the form, but that is what is obtainable now in Lagos. I understand back in the days it was just B1/B2 for our pioneers....but it appears they have introduced B2 which is just a sub category to narrow that your purpose...we always have to keep up with changing times. Thanks

firsttymum:
I'm gonna correct something. I have a B1/B2 visa I'm sure most of us here does. DRPINKY IS correct with the B1/b2. Picking only B2 isn't wrong but picking b1/b2 is also NOT wrong As a matter of fact it's broader. I've used my B1/b2 for child birth, for vacation, for training. I'm sure u get my point
DRPINKY ur B1/b2 is very correct.. You are on d right track

Purpose of Trip to the US: Temp. Business Pleasure Visitor (B). Specify: B2 - Tourism/Medical Treatment. So if you didn't pick that, you need to choose that for your application.

DrPinky:
At flamingo, link me or please share your testimony with me.I appreciate.

B2 for you. You might also want to go through the thread from the beginning so you can be well equipped for the interview. I am a testimony...lol

DrPinky:
I am an expectant mother for the second time,I desire to have my baby in the US. I am in my application process now. I will love to travel with my husband and my 17months old daughter. We are done filling the B1B2 form, but I am a bit confused, cos the b1b2 says tourism and business. Please help, am I to fill the B1B2 form or the B2 only. Please help me out. Thanks.

Because you didn't find it informative doesn't mean others didn't. Reviews are key in making decisions and Fit to fly is also very important. Newbies should read up even if its Part 100....lol

olokings:
how many pages now, just for airline (personal( reviews and fit-to-fly?....
before u know it part 4 will be exhausted with just little information.

yet we ll start saying to newbies..."go back and read up"...
lol..
anywho, ... hailings y'all. #justsaying

I pretty doubt if you will see an concierge for $500/month. You can look at Soul care but not at that budget. You might need to check airbnb, but you might have to gamble with the hosts...since you have not been there before.

similoluwa1:
Thank you for your prompt response.

Can i get some names of the apartments pple have used here cos i dont want to be scammed oo.

A friend of mine said she was scammed by some of these agents she saw online.

Pls help a sister out, my budget is like $500 per month.

Ese

To which destination in the US please?

firsttymum:
travelstart fare rates are amazing.. i am seeing 240k... abi my eye dey deceive me...

You are good. The Visa is for you to present yourself at the POE. The CBP officer there has the authority to stamp you in for how long they decide. So If you travel now, the CBP officer can stamp you in for 6 (six) months if they are okay with your intentions. So it does not matter if the visa is about to expire. Hope that helps.

estasplash:
Hello house! First timer here. Pls I have a visa that expires on the 11th of september and I intend traveling on the 1st of September cos my due date is in November. I want to know if I have to apply for a visa renewal before I travel (that is before the expiration date of the visa) or I should apply for renewal  when I get to the US ( that is after the expiration of the visa)‎. Will I be allowed into the states with my almost expired visa wen my due date is in November? I need answers plsssssss

Please I have sent you an email request. I am highly interested. Thanks and God bless

Now unto ticket,PTA and other matters

Please I am highly interested in this. My number 08032284992 and email. folami.otemolu@gmail.com. I also want to know, is it possible to have a mixture of this bricks with hollow blocks to allow some portion to be painted? Expecting your swift response

femiolorun:
pls clarify the above character

ok, I have a 2.5kva prag inverter with 4 200A batteries. I recently heard about an LG 1HP AC that can work at 0.9kva using a generator mode feature on it. In order words reducing the start up power consumption that normal traditional AC exhibit.

My question is does the generator of 2.5kva and the inverter of 2.5kva operate in the same manner, and would it be safe to connect the LG 1HP AC that has the feature of Generator mode to the inverter?

Thanks

Please i want to know if it is possible to use the LG gen cool inverter V air conditional on gen mode of 0.9kva on my Prag 2.5kva inverter with 4 prag 200mah batteries? I expect your response house.. Thanks
